Since I joined Reddit six months ago, I don’t know anything about Digg, so what happened?

    Wow, what a trip down memory lane reading that name.

    I gave up on Digg after the HD-DVD key fiasco and I think that was when reddit first started to gain momentum. Digg was headed down the crapper by that point already. I created my reddit account in April of 2007 which was about a month prior.

    Those few years on reddit before Digg fully self-destructed were truly amazing. I think Lemmy will have that feeling for a while, but hopefully the federation system will allow for a self-healing effect when eternal September happens here.
